Also, the author uses 2x 32x32 panels @$97 each as a price peg, but you can get a raw 64x32 panel from Adafruit (a quite expensive supplier) for $50.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoI agree, and I would hardly call this 'a steal' as the article says. But, for many people an Arduino is black magic even if they're quite skilled at programming. I know some of them. I can imagine this would appeal to those people. I'm personally more into electronics too, kind of goes with growing up in the 80s when computers and electronics were just inextricably connected.
